Guilty!

As everyone's eyes fell upon the person, all of them held their breath. It was evident that no one predicted that Lady Flora would be present in the court and support Alice against her own mother.

Alice's eyes shone with proudness while Lady Ira turned pale. There was the tinge of  unhappiness as well as a bit of alarm raised in her ears.

"Flora… my dear child, what are you doing here?" Lady Ira can't help but mutter, finding her speech turning down. 

While Princess Flora swept her glance from her mother, she then looked at Alice with an understanding gaze. In the similar manner, Alice passed her a small nod too.

Keeling all her courage above her head, Princess Flora walked in the center of the courtroom to face the King. She appeared hesitant but that didn't stop her from answering to King.
